Ohhhhhhh NO !!!!
Hope your safe and sound and ofcourse hope to see it fixed asap :(

Oh boy, another one that rear ended someone haha. Us TL guys gotta stop banging.people lol

Nvm saw all the dirt. Maybe u banged something else.

what are the perils of FWD?









I saw the curb!

awww, justn....:whyme:

hope you're ok...

did you mess up the "new" radiator?

I want to thank each and every one of you who wish me well.
I'm am in perfect condition.
the only thing that is hurt is my bank account and the poor car.

cars can be fixed/be bought again.
People cannot.

As I was crying about my car, I realized that its just a material item that wont last on this earth.
I met this girl on Google+ who in 2009 beat cancer. She was just diagnosed with lung cancer and doesnt have much time left. She is happy with her life, and re-enforces positive thoughts. This just blew me away. I'm over here crying about a car while she is happy and hasnt even lived a long life.



I was coming home Thursday morning, and I was going to fast for a right hand turn.
I understeered right into a curb.
meaning the car went straight, instead of turning.


LOL! funny! that was first thing I thought too.
"MAN!!! I just replaced that radiator too!"


she is at the car hospital now.
waiting for the adjuster to estimate how much damage occurred.

full coverage ... ?

of course.


and to my eyes; Airbag, airbag sensor,seatbelt sensor, front bumper, radiator.
maybe about 5K in damages.


no telling what they will find when they lift the car up.

dude, glad you're okay Justin!

Sorry to hear... No way to start the New Year... Hope your ok

another funny aspect.




I just had bought things for her.
the UPS man came and dropped them off friday. LOL, a slap in the face.

Oh man that hurts to see...then again looks like its time for upgrades!

Wow:( Im glad your okay bro. Sucks about your car, hopefully she will
Be fixed soon

maybe, maybe I'll upgrade to the type-s front!
I have till tuesday to decide.

I say go with the TYPE S front :thumbsup:

Glad to hear you are ok, thats the most important thing. These things suck but I'm glad you have put them into perspective. Time to make lemons into lemonade and get the Type S front put on.

damnit *cringes*

Sorry to hear buddy.

Glad you're alright and she's getting fixed.

Type-S upgrade!

sorry Justin...:sad:

hope everything works out in your favor and I'm glad you're ok! keep your head up man, it'll get better!

Man, it hurts to look at those pics. The best thing is that you can joke around about it. I'm glad you're okay. It sucks that it happened and there's really nothing else to do but go forward from this point and keep it positive.

o sh!t sorry about ur ride glad to see ur ok

Damn Justin, sorry to see man. BUT like you said, a car can always be replaced.

I wish you the best with having the car repaired :thumbsup:

definitely a BANG. good thing you are okay though.

Damn Justin. Glad you and others around you (if applicable) were not hurt. Good luck w/ the repairs.

Good to see your ok. Your UA7-almost could be one step closer with the front bumber.

Glad to hear that your ok, and in good spirits. I guess now on the bright side you can get an type-s or 07-08 base front courtesy of the insurance company.

Ouch. At least you are ok :hug:

Good luck with the repairs. Did you see something blurry in your vision? Sometimes when I stretch after sitting still for a while I see little fuzzy sparkly things. I call them eye crabs. Definitely make you blind for a sec or two.

Geez dude, glad you're ok. Go for the Type S front.

sorry about the car man, but Thank God you're alive and healthy!

Glad your ok, might as well upgrade while u have the chance.

Damn sorry to see that man. Hey just out of curiousity from what you can see is the only damage cosmetically the front bumper? From what I can see it seems like everything is nice and intact including, fenders, headlights, hood etc etc.
Is the car driveable right now or did you nail the curb hard and mess up the wheels and suspension?

I agree with others a Type S front bumper would look real nice. Only thing is if you do that your gonna have to convert to a Type S headlight as well as I think it would look kind of goofy to have Type S front end, but then the chrome headlights (and 04-06 style ones at that).

The pics...:omg:

Noooooo:sad: At least you're ok. I'm sure your car will be fixed asap. It's just a waiting game now...:what:

O_O that really sucks! do the conversion!!

Damn, well at least you are ok. I say upgrade to base 07/08 front because the aspec looks better. Well thats what I would do.

Sorry about the car, but glad you're okay. I'd say UA7 base bumper w/ an A-Spec kit :D.

Wow, glad you're ok.

E-brake next time lol.

Once she's up and running again, go a turn firmer on the rear Konis (you have Konis, right?)

Good luck with it. I know the feeling.

Sorry to hear about this bro. I was waiting for this thread. I heard about this in WEDT. Glad you are OK. Might as well see how much the Type S upgrade will cost you. I'm hoping you don't have any frame damage. Good luck. Get her fixed, then put on the goodies you already ordered for her. :toocool:

I drove, so I'm assuming axles were intact. I peeked underneath the car, everything seems intact.
wont know until adjuster comes and tells me whats good.

LOL, at the ebrake.

Yes, I have the knoni's set at full soft. will adjust!

It should be a different story next time. With the bigger RSB and the rears set firmer than the front, the rear should rotate a little when you hit the limit.

It sucks the airbag deployed as well.

I know that's not what you want to talk about right now though. That car looks super clean from what I can see. It doesn't look like a daily driver. Too many clean places that even a well taken care of daily should be dirty.

FWIW, I really like the front end it has on it.....pre-wreck of course lol. That's a very nice looking TL. This was with the NT05s on?

I believe the Nittos were cold!! it was a short ride home, air pressure probably 33-34!!!

and thats what makes it worse or more fun depending on how you look at it; It isnt a daily!
